Mobile Arterial Ulcer Care Across New York State

Why Mobile Wound Care Is Effective for Arterial Ulcers

Arterial ulcers typically develop on the legs or feet when blood flow is reduced, limiting the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to surrounding tissue. This impaired circulation can cause tissue breakdown and the formation of painful open sores. Without appropriate care, arterial ulcers may worsen and lead to serious complications.

Because arterial ulcers are chronic wounds, they often require frequent monitoring and treatment. Mobile wound care allows patients to receive consistent, professional care at home or in healthcare settings such as assisted living facilities—reducing the need for repeated hospital visits or readmissions.

By providing care where patients are most comfortable, our mobile approach supports reduced infection risk, improved continuity of care, and a more focused healing environment. We also work collaboratively with primary care physicians and specialists to ensure a coordinated, whole-patient approach.

What to Expect During an Arterial Ulcer Care Visit

Our wound care specialists work closely with physicians and healthcare teams to deliver comprehensive arterial ulcer management. A typical mobile visit may include the following components.

• On-Site Wound Evaluation – A thorough assessment of the ulcer, surrounding skin, and overall circulation status.
• Personalized Care Planning – Development of an individualized treatment plan focused on healing goals, comfort, and symptom management.
• Infection Prevention and Management – Careful monitoring for infection, wound cleansing, dressing changes, and coordination with prescribing providers when treatment is required.
• Convenient Ongoing Care – Skilled dressing changes and wound management delivered directly at the patient’s location to support healing progress.

Coordinated care is essential for patients with complex conditions. Our team maintains open communication with healthcare providers to ensure arterial ulcer treatment aligns with the patient’s broader medical plan.
